I’m one of those people who gets to the airport early just to browse duty-free. I even choose my layovers on the quality of shops (and dining options.) Even if you’re window shopping luxe goods, a good selection of shops can make the most of airport downtime. And although we can find good sales online these days, you can still save on things like electronics, perfumes, and cosmetic bundles. If you’re looking for a good deal, some airports have better shopping facilities than others. Many are inexcusably poor — I’m looking at you, LAX, and then there’s the likes of Singapore Changi and Amsterdam Schiphol that transport you to a department store like the toy shop from Miracle on 34th Street.

Accommodation is one of the biggest headaches when planning a trip. It's usually the priciest part, and it's where you'll be crashing after your adventures. When faced with the choice between a hotel and an Airbnb, many people go for the latter, especially if they're traveling with a group, need to do their own laundry, want to cook their own meals, or just want to feel like a local for a change. Airbnb is also generally more convenient, freeing you from expensive hotel fees and offering a wider range of options. But with the deluge of listings out there, picking the perfect Airbnb can be overwhelming. If staying in an Airbnb with no reviews feels too risky, your best bet is to opt for a property hosted by a "Superhost."
